Printed Balloons
Nowadays large quantities of balloons are printed for the advertising market. The improvements in printing over the years have enabled a wider and better use of advertising balloons to the retail market. Latex balloons are manufactured from natural rubber; the white sap is extracted from the Haevae Brasilienis tree and collected in liquid form, which is then referred to as latex.

Apparently latex is collected without harming the tree by using environmentally safe, age-old process similar to that used for collecting the sap from maple trees for syrup. The tropical rain forest trees are very valuable, highly coveted, and a well-protected natural resource. These precious trees play an equally valuable ecological role in the earth’s fragile ecological balance by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere which helps prevent global warming. As rubber is extremely versatile in its use, there is a great demand in modern living.

Latex Balloons
Latex balloons are made with 100% natural rubber enabling the balloons to biodegrade completely. The degradation process begins immediately the balloons are inflated and this is accelerated once the balloons are exposed to light. The first signs of the process are visible after one hour when the balloon takes on an opaque or milky look, known as oxidation. The length of the degradation process depends on the exposure to UV light, but according to scientific research the length of this process is approximate the same as a leaf from an oak tree under similar environmental conditions.

Printing on balloons really has come a long way in recent years and we are confident you will not find finer printed balloons anywhere.

Balloons need to be inflated prior to any printing process. Due to the flexibility of the latex the balloon needs to be held firm during printing. Special latex based inks are used that meet high safety standards.

For many years the only form of printing was offset flexo printing. This is a process that transfers the image from a rubber plate onto a drum and the balloon is rolled across the drum to apply the image.

Silk Screen Printing for Balloons
In more recent years the development of silk screen printing has taken the place of flexo printing as it gives a more precise print and allows a bigger image on the balloon.

Ink is transferred onto the balloon through a silk screen. A sharper image is obtained even when the balloon is fully inflated, in more recent years the development of silk screen printing has taken the place of flexo printing as it gives a more precise print and allows a bigger image on the balloon.
